Abstract

or Western business players interact differently with Uganda's patron-client system from their Chinese counterparts, and with what kind of different consequences?That said, Ugandan Agency within China-Africa Relations remains a fascinating study of African elites' political manoeuvres in an increasingly diversified landscape of international development. It is suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses on South-South cooperation, China-Africa, Chinese foreign policy and African politics, among others. Its jargon-light writing style also renders it accessible to anyone curious about the ever-shifting field of China-Africa relations.
